CS3600 Scanner eliminates the need for the jello-like impressions of the past

Dr. Zachary and his team scan every patient who begins treatment instead of taking messy impressions. Utilizing the CS3600, a 3D image is generated of the patient’s teeth and bite in real time giving Dr. Zachary precise digital imaging for diagnosis and treatment planning. With the click of a button, Dr. Zachary can send an STL file to his lab to 3D print an exact replica of the patient’s teeth and in turn, fabricate a customized appliance. This ensures a remarkable quality, fit, and comfort level.

Orthodontic wires of the past were made of heavy gauge stainless steel, and were quite uncomfortable. They used excessive force, which actually slowed down tooth movement significantly. The Nickel Titanium wires we currently use provide a light and continuous pressure ensuring maximum tooth movement efficiency and maximum comfort for the patient.

Orthodontic digital imaging maximizes detail

Dr. Zachary firmly believes that proper diagnosis and treatment planning is essential to a predictable and beautiful smile. Digital x-ray imaging of the teeth and supportive bones is a vital piece of this process. Dr. Zachary relies on the latest in computerized imaging technology. He and his team use the Kodak 9000 Extraoral Imaging System to capture the nuances necessary to plan optimal treatment utilizing the lowest radiation possible.
